Dems Turn the Other Cheek on Lieberman

This is a little hard to figure out, given how fucking obnoxious Lieberman was, and what a powerful committee he chairs. While one COULD imagine this is just a real lovely kumbayah moment, forgiving Lieberman for his sins, on planet reality you can still forgive someone and still punish them. It makes no sense they would let Lieberman keep his chairmanship of Homeland Security, given how completely lame he was at overseeing the Bush administration-- UNLESS they want to keep the non-existent oversight in place. I have to think they want this unrepentant neocon continuing to run the charade of the war on terror.
